I think I'd rather prefer a static solution, e.g. create a daily checkout w/ keyword substitution. Could be part of the snapshot creation script. CGIs are nasty in the sense that for security one may turn it off on a whitelist basis (actually nothing uses CGI currenlty) and a simply CGI script could be forgotten in a server update/hardening messing up the download. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
